July 13 - You don't see these very much anymore

Here is something for the old timers that read the blog.  I bet you don't see these much anymore.

For the younger readers, this is a phone booth.  They used to have these everywhere.  And for the really old timers, they used to be inside a very small space with three glass walls and a door.  Maybe you can ask Grandma Bates about them, I bet she remembers them.  :  )

Nowadays, most people carry these around in the pockets, and they come with cameras, games, internet, etc.  Wonder what my kids will have in 40 years ..........  maybe a chip in their brain that does all this and more.

  1. The red phone boxes in Scotland were the greatest thing. You didn't miss them, Things have changed a lot in my lifetime. Imagine a party line that all of your neighbors could hear what you were saying. We were sure Aunt Ruby listened to us but my Mom wouldn't let us say "Aunt Ruby get off the phone"!
